Many students who were lauded as good writers in college are eager to put their writing skills to work in law school. Political Science and English majors, having written many, many long papers with interesting words and complicated thesis statements, are often sure that law school memos, briefs, and essays will not be as challenging. This, unfortunately, can prove to be a misplaced thought. Looking at the differences between college writing versus law school writing before law school is an excellent way to prepare to make that transition. In this post, we’ll discuss how college writing is different than law school writing.

There’s no getting around it – law school exams are alarming at first. You have muscled through a long semester of reading, cold calling, and review. You are probably tired and also very anxious. This is entirely normal. Worrying about how to succeed on your law school exams is only natural. Walking into the unknown of anything is going to be a nerve-racking experience. Your fellow students might have good poker faces, but we guarantee they are panicking during law school exams just as much as you. The good news is, you don’t have to stay panicked! There are many tools and resources available for test anxiety and panic. You will be in great shape if you pair effective exam studying, such as these techniques, with de-stressing methods. We have put together a list of ways you can say goodbye to panicking during law school exams.
Ok. We recognize the question of whether you are mentally ready for law school can be a bit, well—daunting. Nevertheless, it’s an important question to ask yourself!

As you go through the questions below to help determine if you are mentally ready for law school, you may consider writing out your answers. Putting pen to paper gives you the chance to later reflect on what you’ve written, and it can serve as a great reference point as you continue through law school.
